There it is. Thanks Mr. Chunk. This is also a great book:
Jean-Xavier Guinard, Lambic (Brewers Publications, Boulder, Colorado, 1990)

It is out of print but some say there is an electronic version of it somewhere online.

Not a problem. And Lambic is an awesome book. The new Geuze & Kriek by Jef Van den Steen is another great book - albeit more about the history of the drink and the makers of said drink.
 
Thanks for posting the link, I'm bad at saving links... Geuze & Kriek is definitely more of a coffee table book, I'll second that. The photos are like porn, but the explanation of the process is not what I was hoping. For anyone wanting to try any of these methods - GO FOR IT! What's the worst that can happen? You're out $12? Without having to buy hops or yeast, it makes for a cheap brew! Just need more space... always more space...
 
Wow. what a day. just did the it all again. will post in a new thread to make sure differences are noted.
 
Its been 9 months, and like a baby, its time to try some.

Tastes great. No off flavors to speak of, lots of lactic. Still young. Bottled some with minimal sugar, and then sampled some with a brewpal and scored on BJCP sheet. 40-ish region. Might enter in AHA Comp if I get a chance. Truly an exceptional young lambic. Can't wait for later!
 
This one is getting moved to stainless this week, going to toss some on some fruit. Wish I could leave it in the barrel longer, but due to the upcoming move in 2015, and the length of time it will take to drink (and the fact that it tastes awesome), I will let it age in stainless for a little while while drinking it up.
 
Here's a shot of disassembling the stand to get at the lambic barrel. Ended up putting 8 gallons on 18lb of raspberries. The rest got sankey'd.
